Nope, you will just be rooted on reboot after running the exploit, nothing will be lost.
works like a charm on optus Razr
Woohoo!! Worked like a champ and titanium backup is restoring as we speak. Thanks for posting.
btw how to back to stock?
Rogers RAZR good to go here! Thanks!!!!

I have the same question. Is there any way to unroot device?
thank you
worked great thanks.
if you are using a bootstrap recovery for bionic, do you have BP tools to boot into using vol+pwr? Hashcode modified koush's bootstrap for the 2nd-system safestrap for bionic/d3 probably wouldnt be too hard for him to port to razr. Also, is the root method used the same that dan rosenburg found? after that leaked ota bionic users lost root and couldnt exploit anymore. we made sure to use otarootkeeper because of the ext3
+1 thanks

Hi all,
My atrix on Bell is just a couple days old.
Is the process to root and use the adeo custom roms exactly the same as the AT&T atrix?
If not, is there anything different or a thread someone can refer me to?
Thanks,
i am sure that you can root it the same way as at&t atrix cuz I bought an bell atrix and i did root it using the same steps. not sure for rom.

You can use aRoot but I would hold off on Adeo and any other mods to the ROM until they are confirmed Bell compatible

Rooting Moto Atrix
I just got my Bell Atrix about two weeks ago, I rooted it yesterday using a nice little software called "supper one click" it has options for root, unroot, and non-market apps. there is a vid on YouTube that will show how yo do it ( super easy ) I can't add the link but if you google "rooting Motorola Atrix" it will be the first one.
I'm not sure if it is the best way to go but it worked perfect for me (please donate to developer for his hard work!)
As for the ROM I'm going to wait for more feedback ! bricks are nice to build a house not for a phone

Unless it was updated, Super One Click is technically not the best way to root your Atrix as it was built off of other phones' codes and not fully from the Atrix's so there are some unwanted codes. Super One click included a busybox script, which the Atrix already had. So in essence you have 2 busybox scripts on your phone and it can do some unwated things when you use SU. I don't remember the issues of having 2 busyboxs on your phone. aRoot by DG was designed for the Atrix but DG left supporting the Atrix. At that time, DG recommneded everyone that used the Super One Click to reroot with aRoot. The best way to root atm is Gladiroot from Reiral.
is there any way to unroot for bell users yet?
i know with us users, you can flash the stock rom...

What root method did you use? There should be an unroot method in the rooting folder (or whatever) when you rooted. If you used Gladiroot then post in that thread and have ririal help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060

Yea, ririal said he would add an unroot option if we wanted it.
That aside, I had to do a factory reset and it unrooted my atrix bell... of course an option in the gladroot script without needing factory reset to unroot would be great regardless

hi everyone, i'm new on this forum but i know what your doing in here since a year. Today i try to root my atrix from bell to gingerblur, it worked (not the frist time) i did a restore to factory default and it came back to gingerblur and worked for the frist time. now i'm trying to go back to the original version of my atrix because the internet is not working, probably because it's a rom that was done for at&t. Well i'm trying and can't go back. i did a bckup with recovery, root with gingerbreak and install gingerblur...
thank you if someone can help me if not well that's for trying

sorry for my english i'm french

Works on Verizon razr rooted no problem
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
I'm pretty experienced with unlocking Winmo 6.5 phones and running android non natively on them. But I've only had a Droid since Christmas and am not too experienced with these. I had rooted my phone to enable Wifi tethering but the new 2.3.6 has disabled my ability to root the phone. I understand that I may need to install a previous version of Droid and then do something before installing 2.3.6 but I keep reading about Nexus and OTA and have no idea what these are. So can someone walk me through this?
Absolutely! You more than likely need to restore back to a prev version using a fastboot file if you can't root 2.3.6. You have 2 options:
1 - Root the fastboot, use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to preserve root
2 - Use the root for 2.3.6 that is available.
Either way, feel free to PM me if you need a step by step. I've fastbooted 3 times now to try out different methods of restoring root.
If you have an xt912, didn't say in OP, I know that this works without fastbooting back to 2.3.5.

When in doubt, google. Having come from a WinMo background as I did, you should be familiar with that.
XT910 & XT912 are the model numbers for the two RAZR variants, GSM & CDMA respectively. It doesn't matter which you have from a root perspective.
As above, there is a new root method called MotoFail, which will allow you to root 2.3.6 without downgrading. Use that. Problem solved.

I ran the Motofail and it seems to have worked. Sometimes though it would be nice to feel that you aren't going to brick the phone and would like information ahead of time before running a program that you've never heard of. That's why the questions.

For XT910 devices there is currently no way to get root. It is only possible for XT912 devices.
To gain root access during JB update you should have protect root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. That works.

Actually, there is a way, but only if you aren't on the JB bootloader. When I wrote my comment, I thought, you just have to flash again (also with JB bootloader). In the meantime, I learned that it seems to be prevented to switch to a lower version.

anyone can do it they just need a live cd and its just a case of simple copy n paste in terminal and follow the instructions and they are done. they could even use a usb stick with say ubuntu installed on it.
i did this with a live cd on my laptop to see if it worked and it did, my main pc is ubuntu anyway but a friend was too scared to try it on his laptop with live cd so i did it to show him and he rooted his very quickly
I can't find how to do it.

Thanks again for the fast reply.
I've rooted the phone and installed CWM on it.
Flashed KK rom and the phone just crashed.
I needed to recover it using RSD Lite.
Then I tried to compare the process to my Motorola Photon's process, and realized that the Razr's bootloader is locked. So how will any custom recovery manage to install a different kernel rom on the device (without unlocking the bootloader) ?
Thank you very much. :good:

Don't use any other recovery except SS and BMM.
I can't explain proffesional but they allow custom roms to boot with the custom (kexec) kernel.
Most people around here are using SS,I prefer BMM but the support for it is discontinued,don't worry,just use one of them.
